Lyrics

0:33If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
0:41And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
0:48Would you hear my voice come thru the music
0:57Would you hold it near as it were your own
1:03It's a hand-me-down the thoughts are broken
1:12Perhaps they're better left unsung
1:19I don't know don't really care
1:28Let there be songs to fill the air
1:37Ripple in still water
1:44When there is no pebble tossed
1:48Nor wind to blow
1:51Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
1:59If your cup is full may it be again
2:06Let it be known there is a fountain
2:15That was not made by the hands of men
2:21There is a road no simple highway
2:29Between the dawn and the dark of night
2:36And if you go no one may follow
2:45That path is for your steps alone
2:54Ripple in still water
3:01When there is no pebble tossed
3:05Nor wind to blow
3:08You who choose to lead must follow
3:16But if you fall you fall alone
3:23If you should stand then who's to guide you
3:31If i knew the way i would take you home
3:38La dee da da da
3:41La da da da da
3:46Da da da da da da da da da da
3:53La da da da
3:56La da da da da
4:01La da da da la da da da
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come thru the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own
It's a hand-me-down  the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know  don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men
There is a road  no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
You who choose  to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you
If i knew the way i would take you home
La dee da da da
La da da da da
Da da da  da da  da da da da da
La da da da
La da da  da da
La da da da  la da  da da
